Oh, I just thought of one regular "commercial" I saw yesterday - I think it was the bump or something like that? Basically, a piece of plastic you shove on your head to create the perfect hair bump...

Ah - the Bumpit! http://www.bighappiehair.com/

I had no idea people actually wanted to have the Amy Winehouse look.
Who knew?

Though I still don't think its cheesiness beats my all-time favorite: Alum-alloy. Not many people have seen it, but it was TERRIBLE

Nope, sorry... nothing says "terrible" like Ron Popiel's spray-on hair...

"the reason you are going to slap away every day is because it's so easy to clean" omg that sounds SOOOO dirty hahahaha.

I also like the giant egg onion muck he made then proclaimed "breakfast to go!"

What kind of breakfast was it supposed to be?

Well, apparently Billy Mays is using it. Anyone else notice his hair & beard is getting unnaturally blacker & blacker each new infomercial?

yes that is what it was called..I had one of those in the 70's....
here is the original and Ron is just a baby in it http://video.aol.com/video-detail/chop-o-matic/2959535390

Does anyone remember the skit from SNL with the Bass-O-Matic with Dan Aykroyd......http://www.hulu.com/watch/19046/saturday-night-live-bassomatic


Even Veggie -Tales got in with the mix.......http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QkZTuKGJlrE

I don't think this company has ever made up a product really. The ShamWow is nothing but a re-formated chamois (proounced shamee, short a sound) that most car detailers/swimmers and divers use all the time. Now they have latched on to another product that has been around forever and are remarketing it to everyone as if it is "BRAND NEW!"
